Food for Fuel! Support Snacks for All Students!

Nearly a quarter of Ashburton's star students may not have access to a snack from home. The PTA is dedicated to filling this gap and supply the needed snacks - about 175 per school day - to ensure that no child goes without. But we need your help to make this possible!  Please consider donating snacks by using this Sign-Up or donating to the Food for Fuel fund! 

Spirit Wear Discount Extended to September 25th!

 
Find something for your child or yourself — tees, sweatshirts, hats, pajama pants, shorts, bags, water bottles & more — in Ashburton’s 1st Place Spiritwear online shop. Orders ship directly to your home. Everything in the store is up to 35% off until September 25th. Grab yours before it's gone. Shop Here: AES 1st Place Spiritwear Online Shop.

 
Additionally, the gray Ashburton rally tee is available in both youth sizes and will be available for purchase after the first week of school, with orders delivered directly to students after the school year begins — no shipping costs! Take a look at the gray rally tee here in Givebacks.

And a reminder: If your student does not have a rally tee and cost is a barrier, please reach out to your grade-level counselor. The PTA will work with them to make sure your student gets a shirt.

Ashburton Star Store begins September 4, 2026!  Volunteer now!

The Ashburton school store, the “Star Store” is coming back this year! The store is sponsored by the PTA and provides students with an opportunity to learn money management in a low-pressure atmosphere. We generally sell fun school supplies like pencils, erasers, and bookmarks near-cost for 25 or 50 cents each, with a maximum spend of $1. We’ll serve two to three grades at a time on Friday mornings outside the media center, starting with 4th and 5th graders on September 4. You can see the full schedule here.

Volunteer to help! It takes at least 2, and up to 5 parent volunteers each week to run the store. It’s an easy way to see your kids during the day. The needs are to help set up at 8:30 outside of the Media Center, assist the students with their purchases from 8:40-9am, and tear down afterwards. We’re usually done by 9:10. Students are welcome to help set up and shop early, but we ask that they go to their classrooms at 8:40. Please sign up here.
